Choosing sex

[loseyourname]

Every parent will have a different conception of "perfect," and as I said, many will choose not to choose. You will have all the variety you have now. It will not be more nor less boring; it will be exactly the same as it is now, it will just be that way through conscious decision-making rather than genetic chance.

its not moving toward perfection,opposite its moving toward artificial food ,artificial art now dohh"' artificial kids..anything artificial can not be perfect,nature is perfect and ppl get bored from nature,they degenerating( mind,body,spirit) how sad is that?

The child will be just as human and just as natural as any child whose genetic traits are detemined by chance rather than by choice. What you said makes no sense whatsoever.

Research says that Americans, in general, don't want to have just boys or just girls, so that the sex ratio in the population won't change if we select our children's sex. Americans, however, often want to control the birth order of boys and girls, or to make sure they have at least one child of each kind, or to have the "right" kind of child if they plan to only have one.

All these "choices" are based on faulty and sexist assumptions. Our children's sex tells us nothing about what kind of people they will grow up to be. It tells us whether they are more likely to be a mother or a father, but not whether they will be a good parent or a parent at all. It does not tell us what kind of family we will be. The only relatively safe prediction is that we and our children will be better off if we accept them whoever and however they are.

There is also a great risk that child can fail to live up to particular gender stereotypes.There are also cases of mental issues.

None of that stands in opposition to nature.

How would NATURE be taking its course if we're playing with eugenics? The whole idea behind selective breeding is that we're interfering with nature.

No; we, as natural beings, are consciously manipulating the biological mechanism that controls our genetically determined traits. To say that is unnatural would be to call any biological manipulation unnatural. Is it unnatural to take artificially manufactured medications to cure ailments brought on by nature?
